I am an A type guy or I wouldn't be driven enough to be the FIRST guy STUPID enough to put a turbo kit on a car untested then drive to Texas to have an XEDE installed and then drive right back (like 7 hours sleep in 72 hours). Don't try and insult my intelligence, you can't even spell correctly most of the words in the quote above. I work out 7 days a week because I like to and because I'm the coach for my kid's wrestling team, also because I'm close to 40 and needed to drop some weight, don't hate.
Listen, you made a post acting like you were going to be in uncharted waters with the MS6, you're not. Do some searches on here and other MS6 forums and see what's out there before making bold claims of first to be 300 WHP.
Here's the dyno sheet you requested, posted in MANY of my topics in various places.
BTW, here's a cool video for you, of my car doing some 22 PSI redline pulls for ya....

Nice video!!!

Yes, i did and the test pipe is a waist of money...thats just my 2cents.Insignificant said:

I bet you wont see even 5whp gain from that.(no)Insignificant said:I'm sorry you think that. You're wrong though

Others have already dynoed I believe & saw gains. I won't be dynoing my car till my IC comes in & I won't be doing a ORP pull then a pull w/cat so I'll never know, but if you think yanking the cat does not net any gains, especially on a turbo car, you're just being silly.jcgemt2003 said:

this is very true, anything that frees up the flow is good for turbo, I felt a huge gain on mine even after removing the high flowInsignificant said:

From what I've been researching test pipes for our cars don't seem very essential or give much in terms of gains....... i'd like to see someone gaining more than 5 whp from just a test pipe...... why not just get a turbo back exhaust and get more hp from that?
low price mod? how much is a test pipe......under $100? I don't find that a low price mod......
I don't think it's worth it if you're going to end up getting a full exhaust in the future.......just a waste of money..... I'm just going to wait til i've saved for a full exhaust set up.

It's not only about the max HP that a mod gives you.
Just for argument sake let's say that you actually gain peak 5HP(I have no idea what is actually gained). That is measureable gain, but nothing to write home about. However you also have to ask yourself if you lost lowen end torque or if the 5 HP gain was all the way across the powerband. ect. ect.
My point is that peak HP is not the end all be all of going fast. It's about having a good usable TQ/HP spread across the whole RPM range. A 450 HP car can be faster than a 500 HP car depending on the HP to RPM spread.
You also have to consider that removing the cat and installing a test pipe helps the turbo spool up faster and that won't be measured on a dyno but it will help at the track.

That's true too, that's what I was trying to imply...... I find it kind of hard that a 5hp gain will be spread across your entire powerband....... on top of that......if you get the full exhaust setup for the car (which I some of the better more expensive "race inspired" exhausts remove the cat) then why the point of spending the money on the test pipe, when the money can go into the full spec exhaust? If I wasn't going to get an exhaust i might just end up getting the test pipe to spool it up faster....... although I'd like a turbo back dual exhaust..... and i don't think those come with a test pipe.....if that's the case then yeah i'd want the test pipe to spool the turbo up faster.......
does the test pipe put added stress/wear on the stock turbo?
when you say it causes it to spool up faster are you saying it takes a shorter amount of time for the turbo to start spooling (i.e. reduces turbo lag_.......or are you saying the turbo spools to a higher overall speed? (more boost?)
Reduces turbo lag, and makes the turbo's life easier. The test pipe reduces back pressure and allows the turbo to spin easier but it will still only reach the same speed (RPM) as before, it will just get there faster now.
The only way to increase boost is with a boost controller or tuner/piggyback.
